Episode 11: Why Comparison Is the Thief of Joy
In this episode of Why Mindset Matters, we’re digging into something that silently creeps in and chips away at our peace and our capacity for joy: comparison. It’s the quiet voice that says you should be further along, you shouldn’t still be feeling this way, or someone else has it worse, so what’s your excuse? I know that voice intimately and I know how damaging it can be when we start measuring our grief, healing, or worth against someone else’s highlight reel.
This isn’t just about social media comparison though — it’s about the deep, internal pressure to perform our pain or prove its validity.
I’m unpacking the quiet heartbreak that happens when we compare our healing, our grief, or even our joy to someone else’s. The truth is, comparison doesn’t just rob us of joy; it robs us of presence, peace, and self-compassion.
I talk about what it looks like to fully honour your own path, without apology.
In this conversation, I’m inviting you back to yourself. We talk about why your timeline is sacred, why your emotions are valid, and why choosing self-compassion is the bravest thing you can do. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their pain wasn’t valid enough, their progress too slow, or their joy somehow undeserved. I’ll share how I learned to let go of the pressure to measure up, how gratitude became my anchor, and why your story — just as it is — is 100% valid.
